The Benefits of
Wild Garlic
Published on
29 March 2024
John S.
Did you know that wild garlic has amazing benefits for your health? 100g of wild garlic leaves contain 45mg of vitamin C and almost 5mg of beta-carotene. It also contains vitamin A, calcium, iron, phosphorus, sodium and copper.
WHERE TO FIND WILD GARLIC
Wild garlic grows in damp, woody areas.
Only pick the leaves and flowers from the wild garlic plant. Make sure the bulb stays intact so that the plant can regrow the next year.
Be careful! Wild garlic looks similar to Lily of the Valley, which is poisonous. How to know the difference? The leaves of wild garlic smell of garlic. Are you not sure which plant you’ve found? Do not pick or eat it.
THE BEST TIME FOR FORAGING WILD GARLIC
Wild Garlic grows from late winter to the end of spring. The best time to pick the leaves is mid-March, when they’re still light green. The older the leaves, the darker and less tender.
WILD GARLIC HEALTH BENEFITS
Wild Garlic has antibacterial, antibiotic and antiseptic properties. Garlic’s main benefit is its effectiveness in reducing blood pressure, heart disease and the risk of stroke. Although all garlic has this property, wild garlic has the greatest effect on lowering blood pressure. It is also known to cleanse and improve digestion, and it gives a boost to the body’s immune.
The leaves can be eaten raw or cooked, adding a hint of garlic to salads, soups, pasta dishes, and stir-fries.
